I remember seeing an ad
for this comic a few months back, I had nearly forgot it till I saw that it
came out this week. I figured I would check it out if it got good reviews. But
once I notice it is not only 2.99 with roughly 24 pages or so (didn’t bother to
count) with no ads, but it was extra in length. The comic was roughly ¾ of an inch longer in
width and what I’m guessing is 1/8 of an inch taller then most comics. Some one
had told me this is the “golden age size” of comics, but I wouldn’t know, so
I’ll take there word on it. So I figured I splurge a little and buy it. Not
only that, but I was short one comic, so it work out for the best.
So Viking is written
by Ivan Brandon and drawn by Nic Klein; two names I am unfamiliar with.
Speaking of King Brum,
I was getting ready to hate him as the evil dictator like King, however this
didn’t seem to be the case when they showed him and his daughter, Annikki,
hunting in the worlds. He is simply a king who wants his descendents to claim
as much land as possible.
Back to Finn and Egil,
the two brothers have returned to their grandfather Zur’s land, where we are
introduced to Ketil, the younger brother of our two anti-heroes.
All seem well and good
for our cast, till the older brother of one of the workers Egil killed, show up to
return the favor.
So that’s the general
plot of the first Issue of Viking, I know that my description make the story
seem lacking; but trust me, it was well worth the 2.99, even more so with the
art.
Klein has a unique
style to his drawing, that had many elements to it that reminded me a bit of
other artist I like. To include Tony Moore and Paul Pope, but that’s my opinion
really.
YEAH!!!
Art: 5 - Excellent
Cool review. Maybe you should spoilerize it though.
i love reading spoiler reviews that are supposed to be "spoiler free"
Trust me, what i did tell you was nothing major, I left out the biggiest spoiler. But if you are going to bitch about, there I it now has spoiler warining.
Just a heads up, it wasn’t "40 pages or so". It was 20-23 pages (I counted but can’t remember the exact count, but it wasn’t near 40 – more like half that).
Dude. It’s cool 🙂
I’m in for 2.99. Loved the art.
